Hi Larry,
It was initially an act of desperation.
As you were around in the SUNY days, I am sure you understand.
In about the year 2000 or so, I had posted a question that was of
particular importance to me, as the people on that initial version of
Oracle-L would have some good advice.
The list was down, and as I recall it stayed down for about weeks.
I even tracked down the owner of the list, found his phone number and
called him, leaving voice mail to ask if he knew when the issues might be
resolved.
No reply.
Hence, this list was created.
Thanks to Steve Adams for assuming 'ownership' all those years ago, as he
is in Australia, and therefor immune to the legal threats posed by one
member of the list (he offered Silver Bullet solutions ).
And many kudos to Mark Bobak for have administered the list in recent years.

A big thanks to Jared, Mark, and others who have kept this list moving
forward. And to the participants who have provided the content! I have
emails going back to the 90’s and the SUNY days, then through the other
hosting options, and eventually to where we are now. While I’ve been too
busy to actively participate on this list in a number of years, I’ve
continued to follow it. Anyway, I’m about to unsubscribe but wanted to give
a parting thanks to those involved.
Regards,
